Defense attorneys for alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione said Thursday in a new court filing that the murder indictment a state grand jury returned against him should be dismissed due to double jeopardy and other alleged violations.
The indictment should be dismissed “because concurrent state and federal prosecutions violate the Double Jeopardy Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause and Mr. Mangione’s constitutional rights against self-incrimination, to meaningfully defend himself, to a fair and impartial jury and to the effective assistance of counsel,” defense attorneys wrote.
Defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said in the filing that “prosecutorial one-upmanship” resulted in Mangione facing state and federal charges in New York and separate charges in Pennsylvania.
Has be considered running for office? Then they can’t convict him for fear of looking politically biased. That’s how that works, right?
Yore onto something, it’s a strategy that’s never failed in America
Think that only covers crimes like sedition, treason, fraud and serial rape.
Well only if he ran as Republican, but they would rather suck CEO cock.
But they convicted trump……
But didn’t punish him so it was meaningless
Free Luigi. Also compensate him for wrongful prosecution.
IIRC, “delay, decline, depose” were in memos from UHC. Does that mean UHC is liable for the same charges for any paying customers who died, while being delayed, denied and deposed? Corporations are people as well, after all.
They’ve also pointed to passages of Mangione’s writings, which described Mangione’s deepening fixation on UnitedHealthcare and an increasing malice over the corporation’s purported greed.
Purported greed? Does any grown-ass adult sincerely doubt that corporations are greedy? Are we so far gone that the media can’t even say that without hedging? What are they going to do, sue? Good luck proving that they’re not greedy since public companies have a legal obligation to make as much money as possible.
Mangione’s attorneys also sought to suppress statements he made to authorities in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he was arrested after a five-day manhunt and where “officers failed to provide him with Miranda warnings,” according Thursday’s court filing.
It’s crazy how everyone has known for fucking decades that cops are idiots who only “solve” cases thru presumed innocence and planting evidence to support it…
Yet neither of our two political parties have ever tried to fix it.
well if they did that who would make the school lunch burritos in compton that feeds our nations white kids?
Unconstitutional, eh?

But they always quit a few weeks in.
Or get moved to UN Ambassador.
Plus there’s a documentary and a musical about it. That alone jeopardizes the public opinion of him.
Not to mention every other aid on podcasts is about this case and the way they are edited it’s literally “Hes guilty. Why even hold the trial?”
You guys have been getting podcast ads about it? That’s wild, I haven’t got any at all. But I’m in California, maybe they’re only being played closer to NYC?
Its fucking nuts. Sometimes there will be 3 in a row. It’s fucking obvious they are poisoning the well out here.
Sneak in some Jury nullification ads. Watch as they suddenly get yeeted
What are the ads for? Who’s paying for them? Is NY and fed buying these ads? Or a PAC? Or someone selling insurance?
Its always an ad for a podcast about the case. But the ad is edited in a way to immediately dismiss any notion of innocence.
I’ve found the Brave internet browser to be extremely effective at blocking ads.

It’s an extremely weak case, nearly impossible to win, and they all know it. So they’re going to make it the biggest legal circus since the OJ trial.
They’ll do what they did in the OJ and Casey Anthony trials - keep them in prison while they drag the entire out as long as possible, and that way when they finally get set free in a couple of years, at least they served some time. Casey Anthony served over 3 years in jail, which is probably what she would have served for accidental manslaughter/ negligent homicide, which is probably what she was actually guilty of.
I mean I don’t think the defending attorney would seek a continuance.

Articles like this don’t even need to exist.
Your name seems ironic then. News is the rough draft of history, the documentation of the state’s injustice is important to exist.
